Comment
It has not yet been possible to locate this type within Spink or Van Arsdell, although the published images were from the Spink auction website, without a catalogue reference. The provenance records that the coin was found in Kent thus it has been attributed as Cantian although it may in fact be of Gaulish origin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique Celtic design, including a stylized horse and rider on one side, and a wheel-like motif on the other. This design reflects the cultural and artistic traditions of the Cantii tribe and the broader Celtic civilization of the time.
